No One Wants To Buy This Giant Picnic Basket Building

Strangely, the market for seven-story picnic baskets is limited.

Longaberger is a famous basket-making company located about 40 miles from Columbus, Ohio. So, when the company decided to build a distinctive headquarters, they designed it look like their signature creation: a basket.

One of the main problems for the 180,000-square-foot building is the location.

“It’s like they say: location, location, location. It has two things against it: It’s a far location, and it’s a unique building,” New York real estate broker Brendon DeSimone told Bloomberg. “The location is probably what’s worse.”

Note to potential buyers: The picnic basket handles can be removed from the seven-story building. So there’s that.

It also should be noted that while Longaberger’s classic baskets may have had their heyday, the company is still producing new product lines. A quick glance on the Longaberger site shows this more modern, updated Woven collection, for example. Pretty cute, right?
